When you google top ten or top twenty porn sites you seem to get various journalists plugging free sites like [edit] and the odd pay site (which presumably they've an interest in promoting). The internet is a funny thing where you tend to find certain things and think youre making the most of it and then someone tells you about a site which you never knew existed but that the whole of the rest of the world seems to know about. In the interests of expanding my porn horizons I figured the best thing to do is to ask a public forum who the major players in worldwide porn really are in 2013; hope you'll not mind me throwing this one over to you lot...

I don't know if such a list exists as the largest pay sites are privately owned and do not publish public accounting statements (or any in some cases -- Evil Angel is a cash-only company with no debt from what I understand, Kink may have paid off their debts for the Armory purchase by now as well). If I had to guess Brazzers would be number one (unfortunately -- they also own 8 of the top 10 pirate sites), Evil Angel would be two, Kink.com would be three and the top five would round out with Vivid and Wicked (not sure which would be four and five). If DVD sales were included Adam and Eve would be toward the top as well (they do have a website but most of their revenue is still DVD sales). After that I have no idea. Hustler, Penthouse, Dan Leal's company, Intersec and Bang Bros. would also be on the top 20 list. I suspect Mike South's sites would be somewhere in the teens on this list as well.
Your question intrigues me. I am curious to see what industry insiders posting here would say.

So are you (OP) asking from a "business analyst" perspective, or from a "porn viewer" perspective?
Traffic is unrelated to quality or relevance. Of course the big boys Brazzers, NA, etc. will have the highest traffic, similar to McDonalds selling the most burgers. Probably that's because they are the best marketers. Porn viewers are easy to please; as long as it shows guys getting sucked/fucked, that's good enough.

I think the better question should be which site do you think I should join and for that we will need to know what you like before answering.
I know of many non-US sites that are well worth joining but they probably don't get as much traffic as some US ones.

Hi all and thanks for the replies so far.
The question is posed very much from a viewers perspective. Being familiar with all the big sites mentioned above particularly Brazzers, Naughty America, Evil Angel, Kink, Vivid and Wicked, I guess my curiosity is founded on the belief based on experience of sites such as these that the high traffic pay sites are going to have some of the highest incomes and consequently the higher production values, which, though no more than a rule of thumb, tend to be fairly reliable indicators of quality. I guess I want to make sure I'm not missing out on anything of the same consistently high standard as much of the output of the aforementioned sites. Adam and Eve, Hustler, Penthouse, Dan Leal's, Intersec, Bang Bros and Mike South are all new one's on me so I'll be checking those out and appreciate the heads up on all of those. I would take issue with one point made above which is that porn viewers are easily pleased. In 2013 the pay site market is surely the most competitive it has ever been and if you are going to pay for porn you are only going to do so for the right sort of quality. Of course there is always room for those recommendations of lesser known sites that punch above their weight in terms of quality but unless they're very new the question arises why they are lesser known and whether they can match the production values of the big boys on an ongoing basis while sustaining themselves.

Of the first three companies you named. Only EA, Vivid and Wicked are or were primarily dvd porn studios while the rest were internet only studios. That as since changed because Brazzer and NA both release some of their content on dvd. Kink is still an internet only studio. The only thing they have changed is that a part of their content can be downloaded from sites like VB and some of it can be streamed from sites like AEBN and Hot Movies.
I don't put Vivid and Wicked in the same category as any of the other companies you named because they mostly do feature films while all the others do either small scenario based scenes or gonzo porn. Since both Vivid and Wicked make feature films tend their production cost are probably higher than other companies but that doesn't necessarily translate in more enjoyable porn. If you prefer gonzo porn then you won't care about companies that don't shoot that type of porn regardless of their production cost.

Good point about Wicked and Vivid etc. I don't really go for features, or rather that is to say the extended stories are not what I'm looking for but it wouldnt matter as long as the sex was up there but alas it tends not to be, I find. What I like about Brazzers and some of the others is that the performers are of a consistently high calibre. I do like Gonzo but if I were paying for it on a subscription I would prefer to know that the content is going to consistently meet a high standard in terms of performers, shoot and intensity. You know what you're getting with Kink, Evil Angel, Brazzers etc and I'm looking for other sites in the same vein I might not previously have come across.

Here are a few websites for some of the companies I mentioned.
Intersec: www.intersecinteractive.com
Mike South: www.southernbukkake.com
Bang Bros.: www.bangbros.com
Adam and Eve: www.adameve.com
I am unsure of the web addresses Dan Leal is using, he produces the Fuck A Fan series among other product lines. If you are Canadian "The Right Hand" is a documentary of his businesses.
